I Didn’t Realize ‘Community’ Fans Were Such Dorks

Screen.

This, I suppose, is a big get for Yahoo! because now people have heard of Yahoo! Screen.

It’s also, obviously, a real life saver for many “Community” fans who, apparently, have been walking around the Earth like the cast of “The Leftovers” after the Rapture.

Don’t get me wrong, I consider myself a dork for many television shows and would be upset if they were cancelled but this spontaneous ejaculation of joy today is on par with the Brazilians reaction to winning the shoot-out against Chile in the World Cup.

This news also creates an interesting scenario in that most of the rabid fans that love “Community” so much hate Yahoo! equally as much.

It should be a fun experiment for Yahoo! (they have nothing to lose and a boatload of cash coming from the Alibaba IPO). And it could just be another nail in the coffin of Broadcast TV.

I just hope Dan Harmon and company are up to the task. It’s one thing to make an announcement on Twitter – it’s another thing to sit in a writer’s room and realize – “Ah, shit, we’re doing this on fucking Yahoo!”

There are insanely high expectations going into this streaming video show (it’s no longer a TV show).

Sucking could result in a mass suicide.
